oh well i will see if he can cover the extra cost. i was reading one of the reveiws (HIS x1600xt) where the card was faster then a 16 pipe x800. so depending on the money he has and is willing to spend will decide on the card. i will have him get the x800 if he can afford it.

Newegg was limited on AGP versions so look elsewhere to compare. You don't need a 512 Mb card but with the price being about the same I'd spend the couple extra dollars . 256Mb is good enough but don't get a 128 Mb version when you look around.
